Common questions
Can I buy Adalimumab in China without a local prescription?
Most prescription medications require a Chinese doctor's prescription — which is quick to obtain: a same-week outpatient visit typically costs $3–15 at an international department. Bring your existing prescription and records to speed things up.
Can I carry Adalimumab home after my trip?
Generally yes for personal use (typically up to a 90-day supply), in original packaging with documentation. Rules vary by country and by drug class — controlled substances have strict limits. Check your home customs authority before travel.
Is the Chinese version the same quality?
Originator brands sold in China come from the same global manufacturers. Domestic generics increasingly pass China's consistency-evaluation standard (bioequivalence to the originator). Ask your physician if an originator or evaluated generic is right for you.
